ENTERTAINMENT. 

In  addition  to  the  ordinary  facilities,  the  University  has 
secured  the  use  of  Oxford  College  and  the  Western  and  a large 
number  of  rooms  in  private  houses  for  the  accommodation  of 
those  attending  the  Centennial  Celebration.  The  official  guests 


(delegates  of  colleges,  speakers,  former  faculty  members,  etc.) 
will  be  entertained  by  the  University,  provided  the  Committee 
on  Accommodations  has  been  notified  of  their  coming.  Blanks 
will  be  sent  with  the  formal  invitation,  which  should  be  mailed 
back  not  later  than  June  8.  If  time  will  permit,  official  guests 
will  be  notified  by  mail  where  they  are  to  be  entertained. 

All  other  guests  (Alumni,  former  students,  friends,  etc.) 
who  may  wish  the  aid  of  the  committee  in  securing  rooms, 
should  return  blanks  to  Professor  Edgar  E.  Brandon,  chair- 
man of  the  Committee  on  Accommodations,  who  will  give  the 
application  every  possible  attention. 


BOARD  AND  ROOMS. 

Besides  the  hotels,  restaurants  and  regular  boarding 
houses,  there  will  be  a restaurant,  conducted  by  Acton  and 
Rehfuss  of  Eaton,  Ohio,  in  the  Gymnasium  from  Monday  until 
Thursday  of  Commencement  week,  where  meals  can  be  pro- 
cured at  the  rate  of  three  for  $1.00,  single  meals  50  cents.  The 
same  caterers  will  conduct  a lunch  room  in  a tent  near  the 
gymnasium  and  furnish  lunches  at  popular  prices.  The  rooms 
in  Oxford  College  and  the  Western,  also  "hose  in  private  houses, 
will  be  rented  at  50  cents  per  day,  per  person.  The  Committee 
will  reserve  rooms  in  the  college  and  engage  them  in  private 
houses  if  application  is  made  early.  There  will  be  no  difficulty 
in  securing  board  after  arrival.  If  lodging  is  secured  in  a pri- 
vate house  the  bill  must  be  paid  to  the  landlord.  In  each  College 
there  will  be  a representative  of  the  University  to  look  after  the 
wants  of  the  guests  and  receive  the  room  rent. 


INFORMATION  AND  REGISTRATION. 

In  the  corridors  of  the  Auditorium,  and  in  the  adjacent 
offices,  there  will  be  maintained  a Bureau  of  Information  and  a 
Registration  Office.  All  guests,  whether  Alumni,  former  stu- 
dents or  visitors,  are  urgently  requested  to  register  as  soon  as 
possible  after  their  arrival.  A card  index  will  be  kept  and  it 
will  thus  be  possible  to  know  who  is  on  the  grounds  and  to  give 
the  Oxford  address  of  all  visitors.  Old  friends  and  classmates 
will  be  able  to  find  each  other  readily.  Guests  will  confer  a 
great  favor  by  registering  promptly. 

The  Information  Bureau  will  be  open  all  day  and  evening. 
Programs  and  other  printed  matter  concerning  the  Centennial 
will  be  distributed  from  this  office  and  Centennial  Publications 
will  be  on  sale.  Information  in  regard  to  reunions,  etc.,  can  be 
procured  here.  Visitors  should  make  free  to  call  for  informa- 
tion personally  or  by  phone.

Most  of  the  exercises  held  in  the  daytime  will  take  place 
on  the  Campus.,  except  the  Alumni  Luncheon.  All  the 
exercises  will  be  free  to  the  public  and  without  ticket,  except 
the  Alumni  Luncheon  and  the  Class  Plays.  The  Alumni  Lunch- 
eon will  be  held  in  Herron  Gymnasium  at  the  price  of  seventy 
five  cents  per  plate.  Delegates  and  other  official  visitors  will

and  former  students  with  their  wives  (or  husbands),  and  the 
faculties  and  families  are  invited.  To  secure  places,  alumni  and 
former  students  should  send  orders  in  advance. 

The  graduating  class  of  the  Normal  College  will  present

sire, ’’  Monday  evening  in  the  Auditorium,  seats  fifty  cents ;

RECEPTION  OF  GUESTS  AND  VISITORS. 

A Reception  Committee  will  meet  all  trains  to  receive 
delegates  and  official  guests  and  escort  them  to  their  quarters. 
A list  of  all  reservations  of  rooms  received  before  June  14,  will 
be  given  to  this  committee  who  will  direct  alumni  and  visitors 
to  their  destination.  Those  who  have  not  made  reservation  in 
advance  and  who  desire  the  aid  of  the  Committee  on  Accommo- 
dations should  come  directly  to  the  office  of  the  Committee  in 
the  Auditorium,  where  they  will  find  a list  of  rooming  places. 

For  the  convenience  of  visitors  who  come  but  for  a day, 
and  who  may  wish  to  deposit  parcels  or  wraps,  a Check  Room 
will  be  maintained  in  Room  104,  Main  Building  (near  the  west 
door),  where  such  articles  will  be  kept  safely  and  an  attendant 
will  be  always  on  duty. 


CLASS  HEADQUARTERS. 

It  is  the  wish  of  the  President,  Faculties  and  Trustees  that 
the  class  reunions  during  Centennial  Week  be  one  of  the  most 
important  features  of  the  celebration.  With  this  in  view  head- 
quarters have  been  secured  for  each  of  the  more  recent  classes 
and  for  groups  of  the  earlier  classes,  where  they  can  assemble  as 
a class  or  by  groups  at  any  time,  and  where  the  formal  reunion 
can  be  held  as  indicated  on  the  program  on  Wednesday  from  5 


to  7 p.  m.  In  nearly  every  case  the  headquarters  have  been 
put  at  the  home  of  some  member  of  the  class.  In  every  case 
the  host  will  take  special  interest  in  the  class  and  will  make 
his  home  a welcome  lounging  place  for  his  guests.  The  secre- 
tary of  each  class  is  asked  to  correspond  directly  with  the  host 
of  his  headquarters,  and  make  what  arrangements  are  neces- 
sary for  the  formal  reunion.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that 
the  headquarters  are  not  only  for  the  formal  reunion,  but  a 
rendezvous  for  the  group  during  the  entire  week.

PROCLAMATION 

By  the  Governor  of  the  State  of  Ohio. 

As  to  the  Celebration  of  the  Hundredth  Anniversary  of  the 
Founding  of  Miami  University,  at  Oxford,  Ohio. 

The  State  of  Ohio  has  shown  its  interest  in  education  by 
the  establishment  and  support  of  three  colleges. 

One  of  them,  Miami  University,  was  founded  in  1809,  at 
Oxford,  by  the  General  Assembly  in  conformance  with  the  pro- 
visions of  a grant  by  Congress  in  1792  of  a tract  of  land  to  John 
Cleves  Symmes,  to  be  devoted  to  higher  education. 

The  purposes  of  the  founding  of  this  college  have*  been 
realized  in  a large  degree,  and  in  the  century  of  its  existence 
there  have  gone  forth  from  its  halls  more  than  seven  thousand 
youth  of  the  land  to  efficient  and  eminent  service  in  all  walk  ? of 
life. 

As  a matter  of  sentiment  as  well  as  of  congratulation  over 
the  past  and  stimulation  for  the  future,  it  is  fitting  that  its 
graduates  and  all  friends  of  higher  education  should  appro- 
priately commemorate  the  first  Centennial  Anniversary  of  this 
historic  institution. 

The  authorities  of  the  college  have  designated  the  16th  and 
17th  of  June,  1909,  as  an  appropriate  time;  therefore,  on  be- 
half of  the  citizens  of  the  State,  as  Governor  thereof,  I hereby 
commend  the  celebration  of  this  Anniversary  to  the  Alumni  of 
the  Institution,  the  citizens  of  the  State  and  the  friends  of  edu- 
cation everywhere,  for  such  commemoration  as  befits  the  oc- 
casion. 

Witness  my  hand  the  twelfth  day  of  May,  in  the  Year  of 
our  Lord,  One  Thousand,  Nine  Hundred  and  Nine. 

JUDSON  HARMON. 


Columbus,  May  12,  1909.
